Concert Wrap-up and Thank you's!
Special thank you's to all the parents that volunteered their time throughout the day helping to chaperone the students during rehearsal and the concert, finding lost pants and ties, and helping to put out fires before the concert began. I sincerely appreciate all of your help. This concert would not have been a success without you.

Disney Trip 2018
The cost is $1,171 if we take two buses (65 participants including chaperones). If we take 55 people the cost will be $1,009. The cost difference is one bus versus two. I am expecting the lower price, but you should be aware of both costs.

Spaghetti Dinner Time!
Here are some important details:
From 5:30pm to 8pm on Saturday, March 11th the band is having a spaghetti dinner fundraiser. We are needing funds for a rapidly growing band program! We have 65 members in the HS band this year and will increase our group to around 90 members next year. We need to buy more concert uniforms AND we are going to DISNEY WORLD! This is a FANTASTIC problem to have. Not only are we getting bigger but we're taking our awesome talents on the road to Florida. Also - our middle school bands are rockin' out too! We have at least 50 members in every middle school band. This program is on FIRE!
Help us out by buying a plate of spaghetti - or two.
Cost is $8 for adult pre-sale tickets (tickets go on sale this week from band members). Cost at the door is $9 for adults. Children under 7 cost $5. You can get a second plate for $5. Your plate will include: spaghetti (meat or veggie), breadstick, salad, dessert, and a beverage. Can't stay? That's ok - take your pasta to go!
There will be entertainment all evening from our talented band students - middle and high school - and our featured performance will be our jazz band at 7:30pm.
Band Booster Meeting
*Meetings are held in the HS band room. You can use the back band door for easy access!
